Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.

Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

One time, I had a friend over to play a bit of Red Alert on my LAN. During the game he said he needed to go to the bathroom, so we paused it. After about 10 minutes of wondering where the hell he went, I get up and go to check on him.

The source material wasn't good, and I guess the adaptation had a lot of talent in it, but it was also not good. Or maybe in spite of being no better than the book, it wasn't a monumental failure? I don't know how well it did financially.

Aside from the rave scene and Neo being nerfed (or rather, I guess everyone else was buffed to make Neo not as far ahead of them), I actually enjoyed Matrix 2. Any plot troubles I had I was willing to ignore on the grounds that it was probably setting things up for the finale. Unfortunately Matrix 3 was a disappointment beyond some action scenes.

I made the same mistake years later by giving Pirates of the Carribean 2 too much slack on the grounds that it was probably setting up for the finale. Though PotC2 was worse than Matrix 2.

My problem with Pirates 3 was when the voodoo witch turned into a giant goddess and shouted some shit and then turned into a crumbling pillar of crabs. And because they lowered her voice and her accent was so thick I have no idea what she said. It was just "BLURR MURR" and then crabs everywhere.

Like, who in the world thought this was a thing to do. There was no way for me to take this remotely seriously and I burst into laughter and then I realized with a shred of sadness that the movie would never be better than that time a secondary character Apache-Chief'd herself and turned into crabs.

That was its literal high point, it tarnished the finale.

Yeah, that was such a wtf ending. Also that they kept dragging out the pointless, boring and tepid romance between Will and Elizabeth. No, I don't really give any fucks at all about their relationship and ending with him only being able to spend one day every decade with her.

Apparently the writers later said that since Elizabeth remained faithful to him for 10 years, and he did his 10-year stint without losing his shit and going rogue like Jones did, Will has fulfilled his duty and gets to live out his life with Elizabeth

Of course, they only said this after Bloom decided not to come back for the fourth movie, so
